Son to Father " are we coming back next season Dad?" Fathers reply " I have been coming here since I was 7, losing today will not stop us coming back next season"
It is that sort of attitude that sets true fans apart from those that give up after a few poor results/performances. Great reply and well said that man. |  | | |  |

perhaps they live in Ipswich?
Have you considered that many fans live far away from Ipswich and the increased ticket prices, cost of travel in time and money, and the absolute lack of anything to cheer about or even relate to on the pitch are big factors in people deciding to pack it in?
10 years I've been going, travelling hundreds of miles in round trips every week. Being taken for a mug by the owner and enduring 18 months of the most prehistoric football ever played at PR are enough for me. It's not a 'few poor performances'. |  | | |

I do a 240 mile round trip. I understand your frustration - but will still be there next season. Hopefully I won't regret it. |  |

Fair enough. I can't strap myself in again knowing that in all likelihood, there will be very little that changes. | | | |

My Auntie and Uncle have been going for 40 odd years but are hit by the new concession rise
They aren't renewing and that's with a heavy heart believe me
I'll now be on my own in my current seat which is a hashtag the club really needs to be attacked with

However, if nobody took some action to break the mediocrity then absolutely nothing will change. The only way Evans will be moved into doing something is by hitting him where it hurts most....in his pocket. Like the father in this story...I was 10 when I first went down to Town...the 1968 promotion to Division One year....but I honestly cannot justify spending out that amount of cash for me and my grandson...especially as I will now have to wait another 6 years to get the seniors reduction. I will not be having a season ticket next season, I will pick and choose my games...so yeah...I will become a part time supporter...and probably get slammed by many on TWTD. Sometimes it's very hard to carry out what you think is right and it has been. |  |

Would you continue to buy cinema tickets to films you know you won't enjoy?
Different I know but that is how some view football, and it's a lot more expensive. |  |

That is the attitude the club want us to all have so they can continue to produce sub standard football for over inflated prices and nothing will change.
We are all different and I appreciate that but it's a bit sad that people have nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon. What are you going to do for 3 months.....! Haha  | | | |

it is comparable to the Cineworld Unlimited card though, you are left in a position where you have to see 2-3 movies per month to make it worthwhile. are there 2-3 movies per month worth seeing, maybe some months yes, other months no. so do you just keep going to the cinema to see any film just to make it pay for itself.
same with a season ticket, yesterday was a glorious beer garden sunny weather afternoon, would I have preferred to watch a dour game in which Town inevitably lose, or sit soaking up the sun drinking beer in a pub garden pleasantly watching the world go by.
Im happy with the choice I made :) | | | |
